An unprecedented stage line-up on the books for this Wednesday’s Rhumb
Line show. In addition to legends of the land, J.B. Amero and the amazing
David Brown, we add 7-time Boston Music Award winning guitarist, Bobby
Stanton. J.B. and I go way back to the 70s with Bobby, who has played with
just about everyone under the sun – including James Taylor, Bo Diddley, The
Temptations, Martha Reeves, Noel Redding, and so very many more. It was
J.B.’s idea to put this one together – something I should’ve thought of a long
time ago. I am literally wild with anticipation for this incredible night of music.
Come early, for sure! The spectacular Rhumb Line staff awaits! ~ Fly
Dinner with great music!
*Each week features a special, invited musical guest
The Rhumb Line Kitchen……features Morgan Forsythe! Dishes are better than ever before!
Plus a fine, affordable wine menu!

Brother JB Amero for what promises to be a spectacular evening at the premier place to be for entertainment in Gloucester, the one and only Rhumb Line! I may have said it before, but I’m saying it again. Get your seats early. These guys have many, many devoted fans. Music hits at 7pm! ~ Fly

Thursday at the Rhummmmie: We ride the big wave with Johnny Carwash! That’s Bobby Davis with the tan and pineapples on his shorts, whanging away at all your favorite beach toons. Plus he’s dragging in his hand-picked surfer dudes to help out waxing your pineal gland. That’s Dave “Chip” Brown, Dave “Cubby” Mattacks, and Dave “Dave” Sag. Special guest appearance by Josh Davis on the tonsilphonium. Surf’s up!

This Thursday at the Rhump Line, it’s Musical Clamfest Time as I welcome back Mr. John Keegan® and his band of roving assassins. You think you know him from Madhouse™ but you don’t know squat till you see him with such heavy firepower as Brian Alex (Wow! Master instigator of the band Entrain), Mark Earley (again in a dual role as Santy Clause and Sonar Splitter), and Benny Benson (our Irish Ace of Pace). No-one can predict what will happen, but MIT has assembled a team to try to detect Dark Matter as a result of hearing loss in ecstatic cling.

Brown and J.B. Amero arrive this Wednesday to paint a fine
coat of their special magic onto the Rhumb Line walls and into
our loving hearts. We don’t do this too often folks. I’d take
advantage, if I were you’z! Come early. It’s a-gonna be nuts! ~ Fly
Dinner with great music!

This Thursday it’s “turn in your old prescription bottle” week at The rhumb Line. Band operators will be available to counsel you on the ins and outs of the ins and outs. Helping us along will be that dastardly dude of country music: Mr. J.B. Amero. Always a blast to have him around! With the Dynamic Duo of Messrs. Dave Brown and Dave Mattacks, what could go wrong?? Come on out for this special evening. Grief counsellors and Kleenex will be available for a limited time.
Dave Sag

High school Spirit is at an all-time low, so let’s welcome back Mr. John Keegan®. See if he can rally your endocrines with his unsinkable style and Dejá Voodoo. Longtime leader of Madhouse™,Johnny will surely have you banging your shoe on the dance floor with his timeless renditions of timeless toons. Better yet, his choice of factotem poles will include such illuminaries as Mr. Dave Brown, ev’rybody’s favorite seasoning on catarrh, Mr. Brian Alex, leader of the famed band Entrain, another intense flavor, on gootar and vocals, topped off with Mr. Benny Benson, the cherry on top of the whipped cream. Hot Dog!

Thursday night at the Rhumbline sees the resprouting of that local hero: Mr. Mike O’Connell and his band of Stooges.

Spread out! No greasy kid stuff on his chinny chin chin as he brings in Mr. Dave Brown, pound for pound the best guitarist this scene has ever seen and Comrade Drummer Forrest “Frosty” Padgett on commie shrapnel shoe bangings. We will bury you!*

Dave Sag
There’s a big party goin’ on at the Seaport Grille.
It’s Scott Cook Night, celebrating the very first customer of that venerable institution. From 6 to 9 I’ll be slugging it out with David Brown, Mike O’Connell and Roger Brockelbank. It’s gonna be a blast. Afterwards we’ll be shifting our bods to The Glou. House to join with Madhouse to celebrate the life of Kay Ellis, of Lannon fame who passed last week.

Time to wax your surfboards and slather yourselves with sunblock as we welcome back Mr. Bobby Davis aka Johnny Carwash to the Rhumb Line stage this Thursday night. He’s been busy changing his tune list and reconfiguring his brainstem to wow you with a whole bunch of new stuff for your listening pleasure. Lotta work for me, but a real hoot!
He’s bringing along the masters of mayhem in the form of Mr. Dave Brown and Mr. David Mattacks to nail down the rhythm section. Also , his son Jason will be singing a few toons. Alfred Hitchcock will be shooting some film, too. Don’t miss it!
Super Bowl Sunday sees me whooping it up early (3 to 6) with Chris “Stovall” Brown and Chris Fitz at Brodie’s Seasick Cafe in beautiful downtown Salem. A really nice venue. Come early and help load firewood around the stake!

Most importantly we want to thank all the fans — especially GMG fans — who get off the couch and come out to support live music in our little slice of heaven up here on Boston’s north shore. As Dave Brown says, “We’re nothing without you!”

Here’s a little video treat — the Yardbirds having a bit of Halloween fun in PA last Saturday with Johnny A (who recently joined the band) on lead guitar (past Yardbirds lead guitar players include Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page & Jeff Beck, so I’d say our local guy, Johnny A., is in pretty good company.)

This Thursday! The magnificent reappearance of that Maestro of musical mayhem….Mr. J.B. Amero. Soaked in a strong solution of Merle Haggard and held up by a strong belt of scotch, this cat has the ability to make you spill a tear into your beer without dropping a stitch of laughter, or angst.
More so than most, he really brings this town together,as he has done for many years, despite the fact that his bell-bottoms no longer fit like they used to. He doesn’t need ’em anymore! We’re also dragging in Mr. Dave Brown,goo-tarist xtroidinaire and Dave Mattacks, pendulumatic pacemaker to make it all happen. A very special night! I do hope to see you all there, cuz like Dave Brown says: We’re nothing without you!

We’re gonna throw you another curveball this week and present to you a swinging night of country music featuring the Depot Cafe All-Stars. Led by the inimitable J.B. Amero, who needs no introduction and who has never eaten broccoli in his entire life. Manly! This will be his first time leading us blues type guys by the nose. He’ll have you crying in your beer with his buttery, plaintive versions of the Great American Country Schongbook. He’s lassoed the great Dave Brown and David Mattacks to help with the proceedings. We’re gonna be spitting Metamucil between our teeth all night long. There’ll be a contest for the best mullet in town. You’ll be drinking through the straw that broke the camel’s back! Don’t miss it!
